About

The Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon is one of the most scenic city runs in the world, with a beautiful 13.1 mile autumnal route through four of London’s magnificent Royal Parks and past some of the capital’s most iconic landmarks. 

Over the last four years, the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon has raised £11m for vital causes around the UK, for over 200 partner charities, including the Royal Parks Foundation, Mind, Scope and UNICEF.

What does the Royal Parks Foundation do?

The Royal Parks Foundation raises vital funds to help protect, support and enhance 5,000 acres of parkland in the centre of London for everyone to enjoy, now and in the future.

The event is particularly popular with celebrities. Ben Fogle, Nell McAndrew, Jenni Falconer, Gordon and Tana Ramsay, Tom Aikens, Tessa Sanderson, James Cracknell, Bill Nighy, Charley Boorman, The Saturdays and The Cheeky Girls have all supported in previous years.  

Renowned for its carnival atmosphere, race day also features Pulse3K, a race for 11-16 year olds and a scrumptious Food & Fitness Festival for the 40,000 spectators, supporters and runners to enjoy.
